Tasselflower Blue

Tasselflower Blue belongs to Pie in the Sky, the collection in which Tone Finnanger nods to daydreaming children with their heads in the clouds. The print is a stylised fan-shaped flower set in neat rows: a small, orderly motif that reads almost as a tone-on-tone texture from a distance and still works when cut into tiny pieces.

That makes it handy for patchwork blocks, borders, triangles and small squares, as well as bag linings, pouches, doll clothes and little sewing projects. It sits happily next to the larger prints and the dots of the same collection. Pre-wash the fabric before cutting, so the slight shrinkage happens before you sew.
